#im a gen z so i think im too young to be comparing but idk

[finnflynn]

not tryna compare tmnt versions again, but i think its cool that rottmnt made splinter unaware of his boys sneaking out to be vigilantes

like 2012 splinter, although reluctant, let his boys out of the sewers and im not sure if he ever knew the kind of danger they were in, but he actively let them fight bad guys. which is fine! those boys were more than capable of handling themselves

but its just that rottmnt splinter never had any plans to let his boys fight (like another post saying something like he raised his boys to be boys and not fighters) and every time he caught them sneaking out he just made the assumption that they were doing normal teenage stuff and not getting their asses beat by warring warrior scientists

idk im just having feelings about rottmnt splinter being inadequate to them as a sensei compared to every other version but is seen as the most relatable dad version of splinter

#i have this weird concept in my head that all the tmnt versions were for each generation #2003 tmnt was for older millenials while 2012 was for younger millenials #(ik 2012 is in the gen z timeline shutup) #and rottmnt is for the gen z #idk i think its the humour and the attitude of the turtles #im a gen z so i think im too young to be comparing but idk #splinter #rottmnt #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles

These tracks and more can be found at JJ’s playlist! A little more detail under the cut:

1. Sunday Best - Surfaces

Feeling good, like I should Went and took a walk around the neighbourhood Feeling blessed, never stressed Got that sunshine on my Sunday best

This whole playlist is dedicated to songs JJ dances around his room to when the sun is shining and everything’s going his way, and it was mostly inspired by this song. Surfaces have a really good way of telling a story with their lyrics whilst giving you a melody to dance two, and their music is always weirdly mellow-but-boppy, which fits JJ’s vibe quite nicely.

2. Hey Look Ma, I Made It - Panic! At The Disco

I'm gonna be the greatest In a golden cathedral I'll be praying for the faithless And if you lose, boo-hooHey look ma, I made it

This song is kinda cheesy IMO but it does hit different when you’re really feeling yourself, which is why it made this list. It’s another song with an excellent bop to it (idk music terms but u all know what I mean) that makes it perfect for dancing round your room to.

3. Burn The House Down - AJR

Used to hang my head low Now I hear it loud Every stranger from Twitter is gonna burn this down

I feel like AJR are a very Gen Z-oriented band which is whack bc they’re all millenials as far as I know and I could be wrong, bc I’m on that weird millenial/Gen Z cusp so what do I know, but their songs always have such a message about being young and growing up and recognising the world for what it is. It’s lyrics speak to JJ but again it has the bop-factor making it a perfect dance tune.

4. Say It Loud - Francis Aud

Say it loud Say it proud! Come on you know what im talking about! Say it with your chest! "I love myself"

Another song that is just about feeling pumped up and feeling yourself, hence why it makes the happy hits playlist; it’s also definitely one of those songs that can pick you up if you aren’t feeling your best.

5. Happy - Pharrel Williams

It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say Sunshine she's here, you can take a break I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

JJ would have been 7 when Despicable Me came out which is disgusting but it also means it’s like a childhood classic to him, so this song is probably deeply ingrained in his memory, and probably reflects on a lot of the happier times in his life. Plus, it is a bop, I don’t care what anyone says.

6. OKAY OKAY - Alessia Cara

I'm a million trick pony The number one and only On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at 11

I love this song bc unlike the rest it’s not about knowing how amazing you are, it’s about making yourself feel like you are, and convincing yourself, so it’s a nice pick-me-up song if you’re maybe not feeling like you’re the best. It’s definitely a song JJ dances around his room too when he’s needing to pick himself up, and honestly it should probably be at the start of this playlist as it could definitely lead to listening to the rest of these

7. Rain On Me (with Ariana Grande) - Lady Gaga

I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive Rain on me, rain, rain Rain on me, rain, rain

This one is a little different in tone because it’s not actually about being the best or whatever, to me it’s more being grateful for what you have and who you are, which is equally as important and equally as feel good, and hence it makes the list. 8. Think About Things -  Daði Freyr

Baby, I can't wait to know What do you think about things? Believe me, I will always be there, so You can tell me anything and I'll listen

Again this song is like very different in tone to the rest but listen to this song and tell me it doesn’t make you feel good. This is THE bop. When we talk about songs being bops, this is the song we’re comparing them to. So this is definitely on JJ’s feel good playlist, and I feel like it has a sweet message too, so extra points

9. Stronger - Kanye West

Bow in the presence of greatness ‘Cause right now thou hast forsaken us You should be honored by my lateness That I would even show up to this fake shit So go ahead, go nuts, go apeshit

Kinda back on that I’m the best vibe but it takes a new twist here with not only am I the best, but I’m invincible too, which is a real JJ vibe. Whether he’s doing epic stunts or cool skateboard tricks or just generally being himself, he definitely feels like he’s unstoppable, so this track fits right in

10. Raising Hell (featuring Big Freedia) - Kesha

Oh, if you couldn't tell We can always find the trouble, we don't need no help Singing oh, mama raised me well But I don't wanna go to Heaven without raising hell

I like this song for the end of this playlist bc it mentions your sunday best and it feels like we’ve come full circle lol but this is sort of the antithesis of Stronger in a way — it’s saying that you’re not invincible, so you should go out and have fun whilst you can, and JJ contains multitudes so this is a vibe that also really speaks to him. He’s all about raising a little hell, in whatever form that takes. And this song, as the rest, has the bop-factor, making it perfect to dance/jump around to.

#bdrptask #jj's playlist is my fave honestly #i could make like 10 of these for him bc he has so many moods #but this is my fave
